* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: As bad as the demons can get, humans are often shown to be just as bad, if not worse:
** The entire series was kicked off when Onigumo, a crippled bandit, voluntarily sacrificed his humanity to yokai to become Naraku, the BigBad, all to acquire the Shikon Jewel and sate his lust for Kikyo. Even before he became Naraku, Onigumo was far from a NiceGuy; the actions of Muso, Naraku's sixth detachment and first attempt to purge purge Onigumo from himself, reveal that he was a [[TheHedonist hedonistic]] [[AxCrazy psychopath]] who killed whoever and whenever he wanted.
** The moth demon Gatenmaru leads a group of human bandits. While they aren't initially aware that he's a demon, when the truth comes out, they're even ''more'' eager to work for him and commit atrocities than they were before, helping him slaughter an entire village and allowing him to eat the captured women alive while making a helpless, AllWebbedUp Inuyasha and Miroku [[ForcedToWatch watch]]. Inuyasha succumbing to his SuperpoweredEvilSide and slaughtering them in an AxCrazy rage is completely well-deserved.
** In the film ''Anime/InuYashaTheMovieFireOnTheMysticIsland'' there is an island where benign humans and benign demons have lived together, and had a lot of half-demons as offspring. They have the island shielded by a magical barrier from the outside world, because they knew that their children would be discriminated against both by demons and by humans.
** In ''Anime/InuYashaTheMovieSwordsOfAnHonorableRuler'', three [[{{Youkai}} youkai]] say that humans are the world's most selfish creatures, and that their greed for power knows no bounds. The demonic sword So'unga seeks only humans as allies, because it is believed that they quickly fall to evil. Later in the film, however, it is inverted when Inuyasha explains that humans, because they are selfish and power-hungry, do not give up easily when it comes to fighting for their friends. Ironically, if humans do not use such demonic weapons as So'unga, [[PunyEarthlings they can not do much against youkai]].

''Inuyasha'' is an enormously popular {{anime}} based upon the similarly popular {{manga}} of the same name by Creator/RumikoTakahashi. The manga was serialized from 1996 to 2008 in Magazine/ShonenSunday, while the anime ran for seven seasons (167 episodes) on Japanese television from 2000 to 2004. Creator/AdultSwim aired the final episode of a very decent English-language dub in October 2006 and continued to air it in the very early Sunday morning slot almost continuously (the only other show to have run longer on [as] is ''Anime/CowboyBebop'') until 2014. In Canada, the dub aired on Creator/{{YTV}} where it was one of the channel's most popular anime shows. Inuyasha and several other supporting characters from the show appear in the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover game ''VideoGame/SundayVSMagazineShuuketsuChoujouDaikessen''.

Over the course of the series, Inuyasha and company confront Naraku several times, but each time he gets away, gaining more shards of the Jewel -- and an extra power or two -- in the process. Forcing Inuyasha to gain a new power as well just to ward off Naruku's attacks. Rise, rinse, and repeat till its conclusion.

One example has Mukotsu's attempted rape of Kagome in the manga; the anime gets around this by having [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe Mukotsu attempt to force Kagome into marriage with him]].
